2008 BUICK ENCLAVE Unknown Or Other Problems

Dealer Jeff Wyler Chevrolet replaced car cabin battery & failed to vent battery gas hose to the vehicle exterior. Hose is laying in well of battery compartment & filling the vehicle with hydrogen gas. General Motors has been informed & car is not safe to drive. Dealer installed a date altered dead cell battery (fully documented) creating a toxic & dangerous situation with no immediate assistance to resolve or reimburse. My grandbabys car seat is located above this battery compartment & we can’t use our car. Is my car now combustible or explosive?

Electric issues, the recall for the sunroof was not disclosed and was not inspected properly…water and debris get clogged and goes into the in the engine.

THE LIFT GATE WILL GO ABOUT HALF WAY UP AND THEN SHUTS BACK DOWN EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO OPEN IT.

STEERING MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN HITTING MINOR BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND INTERMITTENTLY THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE HAS A RATTLING NOISE WHEN FIRST STARTED AND RECENTLY THE ABS/TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN FIRST STARTED. ALSO THE VEHICLE HAS DECREASED HORSEPOWER AND THE MILEAGE LCD SCREEN HAS BEEN ACTING UP AND NOT ALWAYS SHOWING THE PRNDL AND ALSO THE TRANSMISSION ACTS UP WHEN SHIFTING INTO 3 AND 6 GEAR

THE A/C WAS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL IT DIDN'T AT ALL. I HAD RECHARGED IT, SIMPLE STUFF FIRST. AGAIN, WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. FINALLY, HAD IT LOOKED AT FOR LEAKS, COMPRESSOR, ETC. THE MECHANIC FOUND 2 ALUMINUM PIECES THAT CROSSED (ORIGINAL VEHICLE DESIGN) AND HAD WORN A GIANT WHOLE INTO EACH OTHER. HENCE, MY LEAK! I FEEL THIS IS AN BUICK ISSUES. AND WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE. THANK YOU

BLACK MOLD FOUND IN VEHICLE, RAIN LEAKED THRU SUNROOF, FOUND FLOOR BOARDS SOAKED IN WATER, MOLD AND MOISTURE PRESENT ON THE DASH, SEATS, AIR CONDITIONING VENTS, AND ALL OVER THE INTERIOR. BACK DOOR LIFTGATE DOESN'T WORK. WAS NOT INFORMED BY SELLER OF HEALTH DANGERS OF THIS VEHICLE, NOR DID HE INFORM US THAT IT HAD BEEN WRECKED BEFORE.

THE CAR WAS SPITTING D SPUTTER AND OVERHEATING ON THE MAIN HIGHTWAY... ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING A D IT SHOWED MISFIRES ON CYLINDERS 2,4,6.... THE PROBLEM IS ON GOING AND HAS HAD MY 2 YEAR OLD AND MYSELF SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN 110 DEGREE HEAT INDEX WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK!. WE WERE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE MAIN HIGHWAY. THEN THE ACCELERATOR WOULD BE FLOORED BUT THE VEHICLE WOULDNT MOVE AT ALL. THUS I COULDNT CROSS THE LAST MAIN HIGHWAY TO GET HOME. IT SAID SERVICE STABILTRACT/ TRACTION CONTROL, WITH WNGINE LIGHT FLASHING... STILL ISNT FIXED

I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON I-80 AND HEARD A LOUD POPPING SOUND, LIKE A BALLOON POPPING BUT LOUDER. THE KIDS NOTICED THAT THE MOONROOF WAS SHATTERED. WE TOOK PICTURES AND THERE IS NO POINT OF IMPACT. IT DOESN'T APPEAR ANYTHING HIT THE VEHICLE, AND NO VEHICLES WERE CLOSE ENOUGH TO US TO HAVE HAD ANY IMPACT. THE GLASS MADE A LOT OF CRACKLINGS SOUNDS AND PIECES STARTED TO FLY OFF OF THE CAR BEFORE WE COULD SAFELY EXIT THE INTERSTATE. WE STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND DECIDED WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD AND FIND A WALMART TO GET SUPPLIES TO COVER THE MOONROOF. AFTER GETTING BACK ON THE INTERSTATE THE GLASS STARTED MAKING THE CRACKLING NOISE AND GLASS FLEW OFF IN LARGE CHUNKS. WE WERE AGAIN FORCED TO EXIT AND REMOVE ALL OF THE GLASS FROM THE FRAME.

MY TAILGATE OPENS ON IT'S OWN WITH NO BUTTONS BEING PRESSED WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED. ALSO THE TAILGATE DOES NOT SENSE IF SOMETHING IS BLOCKING IT FROM CLOSING IT WILL JUST TRY AND CLOSE ON THE ITEM OR THE PERSON

THE SUNROOF LEAKED INTO THE SIDE PANELS RESULTING IN ALL THE ELECTRIC BEING RUINED TO THE FUSE BOX. $5,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE ENGINE NOW DOES NOT START.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE REAR LIFT HATCH (USING EITHER MY KEY FOB, THE DASHBOARD CONTROL BUTTON, OR THE BUTTON ON THE REAR LIFT HATCH) WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, THE REAR LIFT HATCH RISES TO NEAR THE TOP. IT SUDDENLY STARTS CLOSING BEFORE IT GOES INTO A COMPLETE LIFT POSITION. THE PART THAT MAY BE DEFECTIVE IS UNKNOWN. I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE COULD REACH IN THE REAR OF THE ENCLAVE TO GRAB ITEMS, AND THE HATCH CLOSES IN ON THE PERSON BEFORE THEY CAN ESCAPE.

2008 BUICK ENCLAVE WITHOUT ACCIDENTS NOR SUNROOF OR WINDSHIELD REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING WATER LEAKAGE FROM VISOR JOINTS, SIDE CURTAIN PANELS AND UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN. MY RADIO AMPLIFIER SUFFERED WATER DAMAGE AND 2" OF WATER HAS POOLED AFOOT OF MY VEHICLE FLOOR. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN PRESENT AS OF MARCH 2018 AND HAS RETURNED FOR REPAIR EVERY TWO MONTHS SINCE TO DATE AND IS THERE AGAIN TODAY. THIS ISSUE IS NOT ABLE TO BE RECTIFIED NOR SOLVED. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND FLOODING AND WATER ACCUMULATION ISSUES ARE A KNOWN, COMMON AND REPETITIVE ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. THIS WILL RESULT IN ELECTRICAL AND MORE SIGNIFICANT POWER, AND OPERATION PROBLEMS. A REPAIR, FIX COMPENSATION AND DEEP CLEANING IS NECESSARY.

2008 BUICK ENCLAVE. SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF/STALLS WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNINGS.FIRST IT ONLY HAPPENED WHEN PROCEEDING FROM STOPS LIKE RED LIGHTS, AND STOP SIGNS. NOW IT'S ALSO HAPPENING WHILE IN MOTION.

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON AND A CHIMING ALARM. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE THE ALARM CLEAR IS TO EITHER TURN THE ENGINE OFF OR PRESS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE A LITTLE THEN RELEASE IT. I AM ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SUN ROOF DRAIN RAIL OVERFLOWING. AS I SAW IN ANOTHER POST, I THINK WATER IS THE ISSUE. THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WITH THE BRAKES UNTIL WATER RAN DOWN BOTH OF THE A POSTS. I SAW IN ANOTHER POST THAT OTHERS HAD THIS PROBLEM DURING RAINY TRAVEL. IS ANYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH ENCLAVES? THE SUN ROOF RAIN RAIL ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR A LONG TIME NOW. BUT, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ISSUE IS NEW. ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS DUE TO WATER LEAKS.

THE SUNROOF ON THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED DEFECTIVELY, THERE HAS BEEN MANY PEOPLE ONLINE WHO HAVE A 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE AND HAVE HAD LEAKS TO THEIR VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM BUICK WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR USED AND ADVISED THEM THAT THE SUN ROOF WAS LEAKING, AND THEY DIRECTED ME TO GO TO THEIR DEALERSHIP, WHICH I DID AND THEY CLEANED OUT THE HOSES, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT DID NOT REPAIR THE ISSUE, UNBEKNOWNST TO ME THE VEHICLE WAS STILL LEAKING FROM INSIDE AND LEAK INTO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM CAUSING MY CAR TO MALFUNCTION THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IS AMASS, COSTING ME $1,300 TO REPAIR, DUE TO THE AIRBAG MODULE MALFUNCTIONING WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENT AND CAUSE ME TO LOSE MY LIFE WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION, I AM ASKING THAT YOU WOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND TO REPAIR ANY OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH THE SUNROOF LEAK FOR 2008 MODELS, I'M ASKING TO BE REIMBURSED FOR WHAT I'VE ALREADY PAID, BUICK IS ADVISING ME THAT THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME AND THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALLED ITEM, BUT TO CONTACT YOU ALL TO REPORT IT SO THAT WAY IT COULD BE DOCUMENTED. I CAN BE CONTACTED AT AREA CODE [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I DROVE MY BUICK ENCLAVE 2008 TO VIRGINIA FROM FLORIDA WITH NO PROBLEMS BUT WHEN MY TRIP WAS COMPLETE, I TURNED CAR OFF TO GO IN GAS STATION AND TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON...IT DID NOT START. IT STARTED TO MAKE A TWITCHING NOISE AS IF SOMETHING ELECTRICAL WAS WRONG. I GOT IT JUMPED..BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND IT WORKED FINE FOR 6 DAYS. NOW, IT WILL NOT START AT ALL UNLESS IT IS JUMPED. IT ALSO LOCKS THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION IF I TRIED TO START IT WITHOUT A JUMP. THE CAR CONTINUES TO MAKE A TWITCHING NOISE WHEN IDLE. IM AM AGRAID OF A FIRE IGNITING. I NOTICE THAT EACH TIME I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR , IT HAD RAINED SIGNIFICANTLY THOSE DAYS. I KNOW OF ANOTHER OWNER THAT IS HAVING A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITB THEIR 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE. PLEASE HELP!

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND A BUNCH OF A.C. COOLANT CAME OUT ALL AT ONE TIME AND WENT INTO MY EYES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. NOW MY A.C. WON'T WORK. MY HUSBAND HAS TRIED TO PUT MORE FREON IN BUT IT KEEPS DOING THE SAME THING. WE TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THERE ARE NO CRACKS OR LEAKS HOWEVER THEY SAID THE EVAPORATOR CORE WAS THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THEY SEE TONS OF THESE ISSUES WITH THESE MODELS AND YEARS OF VEHICLES AND THEY ALL HAVE LOW MILES ON THEM WHEN IT HAPPENS SO I GUESS OURS JUST FAILED LATER THAN OTHERS. HE SAID THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH AS MANY AS THERE ARE AND TO REPORT IT HERE. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RECALLS AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A LEMON. GM HAS HAD NOTHING BUT RECALLS WITH THEIR ENCLAVES, ACADIAS AND SATURNS IN THE YEARS 2008-2010 MODELS AND ALL OF THESE MODELS HAVE THE EVAPORATOR ISSUE! THE COST TO FIX THIS IS $2,000!!! THE EVAPORATOR SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT ON A VEHICLE LIKE THIS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ON APRIL 6TH, 2017 WITH OUR TWO YOUNG DAUGHTERS (SPRING BREAK). OUR 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE MADE A SUBTLE NOISE, THEN A SECOND NOISE THAT WAS A BIT LOUDER. I PULLED OVER JUST IN TIME FOR ME AND MY LITTLE ONES TO GET OUT. WITHIN SECONDS, THE CAR WAS SMOKING HEAVILY WITH FLAMES FALLING TO THE GROUND; AND THEN WITHIN MINUTES, IT WAS BURNING FIERCELY. TWO GOOD SAMARITANS HAD PULLED OVER. A LADY RUSHED TO GRAB MY KIDS AND RAN WITH THEM TO HER CAR. THE 2ND (A FORMER POLICE OFFICE) CALLED 9-1-1. THE FIREFIGHTERS ARRIVED ON SCENE TO PUT OUT THE FIRE, BUT THE CAR HAD PRACTICALLY BURNED TO A TOTAL LOSS. WE STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE. JUST WORRIED THAT THIS MIGHT NOT BE A ONE-OFF. I HAVE INCLUDED THE FIREFIGHTER'S REPORT. GEICO HAS DEEMED THE CAR A TOTAL LOSS. NOT SURE I CAN TRUST ANOTHER BUICK. ALL OUR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES WHO DRIVE THIS SAME CAR WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED--AS DO WE.

EVERY TIME IT RAINS WATER GETS INTO MY VEHICLE FROM SUNROOF. I RESEARCHED INFORMATION AND IT WAS A RECALL ABOUT IT IN 2009 UNDER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION RECALL NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT AND WATER MAY CAUSE DAMAGE THAT I CAN NOT SEE.

Mileage: 120,000

CAR WAS PARKED. WATER APPEARED TO BE COMING FROM SUNROOF AND RUNNING DOWN PILLARS WHICH FLOODED THE FRONT FLOORBOARDS.

I BOUGHT THIS 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE A YEAR AND A HALF AGO WITH LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON IT, AND IT'S BEEN GIVING ME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ALREADY. I ALMOST GOT STRANDED AND COULDN'T GO ABY FASTER THAN 30 MPH. IT ALMOST CUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. MY TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE BOTH WOULD LOSE POWER AND WOULDN'T GO PAST FIRST GEAT. MYRPM HAND WENT ALL THE WAY UP TO 4 WHICH IT NORMALLY STAYS BETWEEN 1 AND 2, AND MY GAS HAND WENT FROM FULL, TO HALF, FULL, AND ALMOST EMPTY IN A FEW SECONDS. ENGINE RIDES ROUGH AND HAS TO TAKE OFF SPEED. TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE PROBLEMS WERE ADVISED BY BUICK AS BEING A KNOWN ISSUE BUT APPARENTLY THEY HAVEN'T STAYED TRUE TO THEIR NAME "BUICK." THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS I COULD'VE GOTTEN EASILY HIT WITH NO TAKE OFF SPEED AS IT BARELY MOVES. IT HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES WITH THESE SAME ISSUES BUT DEALERSHIP KEPT SAYING THAT NO CODES WOULD POP UP TO SEE WHAT'S THE ISSUE UNTIL A WEEK AGO, IT DID IT AGAIN FOR ABOUT 5TH TIME AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO ADVISED ALL KINDS OF CODES WERE POPPING UP WITH MY ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. ALSO THE WRITING ON MY CONTROL BUTTONS HAVE WORN OFF AND MY FRONT SUSPENSION NEEDS REPLACED AND MY DRIVER SEAT TRACKS WHICH ARE NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. BUICK NERDS TO HOLD TRUE TO THEIR NAME AND COMPENSATE OR REPLACE THESE DETECTED 2008 BUICK ENCLAVES. BUICK IS NOT HOLDING TRUE TO THEIR NAME. I'M VERY DISSATISFIED AND IS MY FIRST TIME BEING A BUICK OWNER. NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO FIX THESE ISSUES, BIT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING .

PURCHASED USED VEHICLE FROM DEALER FEB 2016. NOTICED VEHICLE LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS THROUGH THE SUNROOF, TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD AREA AND ALSO FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR AREA, UNDER THE DASH TOWARD THE BRAKE PEDAL AREA. I'VE HAD MY DOME LIGHTS FILL WITH WATER, WATER LEAKING FROM THE DOME LIGHT AS WELL AS THE TOP WINDSHIELD AREA WHILE I DRIVE AND STATIONARY. THIS LEAKS ARE CONSISTENT WHENEVER IT RAINS, BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE STATIONARY. WHEN THIS LEAKING/RAIN OCCURS THE VEHICLE RUNS AND IDLES VERY ROUGH. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONSISTENT SINCE THE VEHICLE PURCHASE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND TEST DRIVEN IT WAS NOT RAINING, THEREFORE THE LEAK WAS UNDETECTED PRIOR TO PURCHASE. THE WATER CONTACTING THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IS A FIRE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.

WHEN IT RAINS, WATER LEAKS INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THE LEAK IS ON ALL PANELS, WETTING THE UPHOLSTERY ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS, AS WELL AS SURROUNDING THE SUNROOF. WATER LEAKS FROM THE SUNROOF AREA, REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND SIDE PANEL ONTO THE DRIVER WHILE DRIVING. I CONTACTED GM RECALLS, AND THEY ADVISED THERE IS NO RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE. IT OCCURS DURING DRIVING AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING IN THE RAIN.

THE AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT WORK MOST OF THE TIME. ONCE IN A WHILE COLD AIR WILL COME OUT BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. IT SEEMS TO HAVE STARTED WHEN MY CAR BATTERY DIED AND I HAD IT JUMPED TO START IT.

PARKED STATIONARY BUT ENGINE RUNNING: 250 POUND MALE HAD LEFT HAND OVER THE TOP OF THE DOOR WITH THE WINDOW DOWN IN 11 DEGREE WEATHER. HE WAS BACKING HIMSELF INTO THE CAR BECAUSE HE WAS ON CRUTCHES SO HIS LEFT HAND WAS USING THE OPEN FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FOR SUPPORT AT THE TOP BY THE WINDOW. THE WINDOW STARTED GOING UP AND HIS PINKY CAUGHT BETWEEN THE OUTSIDE WINDOW SEAL AND THE WINDOW. IT CHOPPED OFF THE TIP OF HIS PINKY ALONG WITH THE TIP OF FINGER BONE. FEEL THE OUTSIDE BLACK WINDOW SEAL ABOVE THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW. IT IS VERY PAPER THIN AND VERY SHARP LIKE A RAZOR IF YOU WERE TO LIGHTLY RUB YOUR FINGER ALONG IT. NOW, IMAGINE THE BLACK SEAL IN 11 DEGREE WEATHER. IT HARDENS. MAYBE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE IN WE BELIEVE THE WINDOW CAUGHT AND FORCED THE FINGER UP AND THE SEAL SHAVED IT OFF LIKE A RAZOR SLICE. A SKIN GRAPH DID NOT TAKE AND HIS PINKY IS NOW A DEFORMED TIP ON THE FINGER. KEEP KIDS (AND ADULTS) HANDS AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS--ESPECIALLY IN FREEZING COLD WEATHER.

WATER LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLE WHENEVER IT RAINS. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN MOTION. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS SEVERAL TIMES BUT HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. IT IS AFFECTING THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONALITY IN MY VEHICLE. DASH LIGHTS, RADIO FUNCTIONALITY ETC.

THE LIFT GATE WOULD NOT STAY OPEN. IT WOULD OPEN BUT THEN SUDDENLY JUST SLAM DOWN. THE LIFT GATE STRUTS WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ON MANY OCCASIONS WHILE WE WERE UNLOADING GROCERIES, THE LIFT GATE CAME CRASHING DOWN ON MY FAMILIES HEADS. IT BEGAN THE SUMMER OF 2014. I ENDED UP TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED IT, HOWEVER, I HAD TO PAY FOR IT. I JUST NOW RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE SAME PARTS SO I WILL BE TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER.

IN 2014 OUR ENCLAVE BEGAN HAVING A POPPING NOISE IN THE AUDIO SYSTEM. ALL SOUNDS, RADIO, DVD, TURN SIGNALS, WARNING CHIMES, STOPPED WORKING. AFTER THE VEHICLE SAT FOR A TIME THE AUDIO WOULD WORK AGAIN. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE LAST TIME OCCURRING MAY 5, 2015. ON MAY 5, 2015 THE AUDIO STARTED MAKING A LOUD, EAR PIERCING POPPING NOISE WHICH ALMOST CAUSED THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN WERE ALSO IN THE VEHICLE RIGHT NEXT TO THE REAR SPEAKERS. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE NOISE WAS TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR. (TO TURN THE POWER TO THE RADIO OFF) THE AUDIO HAS NOT RETURNED THIS TIME. THIS IS HAPPENING TO MOST 2008 ENCLAVES AT AROUND 70-75K MILES. BUICK REFUSES TO ASSIST AS USUAL. WITHOUT THE AUDIO SYSTEM WORKING, ALL WARNING CHIMES ARE SILENT. CHECK ENGINE, SEAT BELT, TIRE PRESSURE, AIRBAG, REAR PARK ASSIST. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A BUICK ENCLAVE 2008. WHILE DRIVING I ROLLED DOWN THE BACK WINDOWS TO LET SOME AIR IN THE NEXT THING I HEARD WAS A TERRIBLE NOISE AND IT HURT MY EARS, THE FASTER I DROVE THE WORSE THE NOISE BECAME. I TOOK THE ENCLAVE BACK TO THE BUICK DEALER AND AFTER THEY DROVE IT THEY ALSO HEARD THE NOISE. FROM WHAT THEY TOLD ME IT IS BECAUSE THE ENCLAVE HAS A LOT OF AIR SPACE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSE THE NOISE BUT, WHY DOES IT NOT MAKE THE NOISE WHEN, I OPEN THE DRIVER WINDOW ALL THE WAY DOWN?? THEY COULD NOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION. HOWEVER I DID FIND OUT THAT ALL OF THE BUICKS AND GMC'S ARE BUILT THE SAME AND MAKE THE SAME NOISE. I ENJOY THE ENCLAVE BUT I DO NOT LIKE BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE REAR WINDOWS OF MY ENCLAVE. CAN YOU HELP ME OR TELL ME WHAT I CAN TO TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM? MY WIFE AND I ARE BOTH IN OUR MID 60S AND WE WANTED TO ENJOY A GOOD VEHICLE. THANKS JAMES BOOT *TR
